Guild Wars 2

This topic has been posted before, most recent one was from a year ago (https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Captain-Wiley-and-Predator-Tier-III)

I’m currently working on the Predator III collection and Captain Wiley is the last boss remaining. I’ve been sitting in Wiley’s Cove for several hours and he doesn’t show up. There’s an event that he triggers when he spawns as an elite, but he never spawns.

I’ve tried switching maps, parking alts, change servers and still, this last remaining boss, required for progressing in the collection doesn’t show up for some reason. I’ve searched the wiki, looked at past game updates and everything suggests that this NPC has had simillar problems before and didn’t get fixed properly.

Since this is part of a collection, the item that I require cannot be bought from the TP, making It extremely frustating and stopping me from progressing in crafting the precursor weapon (The Hunter)

Has anyone faced simillar problem with this part of the collection? Could this be addressed by the devs somehow?

Thanks for your time.

*edit: After parking an alt in the area, he was standing inside the tent with the chest, as a lieutenant. I still don’t know what the respawn times are, but It’s very frustrating having to wait hours for a single NPC to show up just to progress an essential legendary collection step.
